Description

wood, black paint,
“Taiaha” are essentially designed for parrying and sparring, and the spatulate end was the actual part of the weapon that would wound an adversary. The point, showing a Janus face with a prodruding tongue, was used for prodding during sparring motions.

The movements associated with “taiaha” usage as a fighting weapon were carefully taught according to fixed rules.

The staffs were primarily insignias of rank. Except for hand-to-hand combat, they were used in ceremonial displays, as well as to emphasize points of oratory.
